Terrible platform **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2022 **What do you like best about Fundly?** There is not much to like about the serice except maybe that it's easy to set up **What do you dislike about Fundly?** 1) Fundly suspended my campaign after donations were made without an explanation. 2) There is no customer support. Emails went unanswered 3) The Stripe checkout was not easy to set up and it's unclear whether Stripe allows for personal payouts which aren't a business **What problems is Fundly solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trying to set up a fundraiser ### 2. So many glitches **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hannah K. | At Risk Ministry Leader, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Fundly?** If it worked well it's nice that people can just enter the amount they want to donate all from the comfort of their own couch. A one-time donation typically works fine. **What do you dislike about Fundly?** It only allows the donor to set up their donation on the exact day that they're doing it. They are not able to forward date a monthly donation. Therefore if you want a monthly donation to come out on the 5th of every month you HAVE to donate on the 5th and then set it up as monthly. It also continually glitches and does not set up "monthly" as monthly. It continually only goes through as a "one time gift" when the donors click monthly. This has caused quite a bit of frustration with donors and the loss of some support, understandably. The fundly staff don't seem to be able to remedy these problems as they are continuing month after month to no avail. **What problems is Fundly solving and how is that benefiting you?** It should help us allow our staff to receive donations easily online instead of the donors sending in a physical paper or check. If it worked well without the glitches it would be nice. The inconveniences of using this far outweigh any benefits. ### 3. Fundly Works - But Can be a Challenge **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mindelei W. | Administrative Support Services Coordindator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Fundly?** Fundly is fairly easy and straightforward to use and is a powerful tool - plus, it's in the cloud (so it can be accessed anywhere). **What do you dislike about Fundly?** There is quite a learning curve when it comes to getting the software to do what you'd like it to do when it comes to running reports and creating communications. **What problems is Fundly solving and how is that benefiting you?** This allows us to keep better track of our donors and where our funding is coming from. ### 4. Fundly works great for businesses to hold data for employees. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Fundly?** I appreciate the amount of information it holds and how it helps companies to stay organized, give tasks, hold employee data, etc. **What do you dislike about Fundly?** I dislike how it seems less secure than some other sights. My company has had a breech in fundly a few times. **What problems is Fundly solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps our business in the area of communication and receiving information about potential clients and keeping that data organized. The benefit is that it helps our company run more smoothly! ### 5. Efficient and helpful, with caveats **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Performing Arts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Fundly?** As the first CRM at our organization, Fundly has been transformational, especially for organizing paid and free events with online signups. **What do you dislike about Fundly?** Fundly is a young CRM, and still has some significant bugs or inadequacies: for example, patrons can't pay an invoice that Fundly sends, so we have to do a workaround with PayPal. But their staff is very open to troubleshooting, which helps. **Recommendations to others considering Fundly:** A great resource, but glitchy in this early stage—be ready to work with their customer service team to customize Fundly to your needs. **What problems is Fundly solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fundly primarily makes our event organizing much more efficient, aggregating all attendees in one place and logging their past attendance. As an arts organization that does regular public events, this is hugely helpful. ### 6.

Easy to Use, Easy to Find **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vivian M. | Non-Profit Management Leadership Intern, Music, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2018 **What do you like best about Fundly?** It was really easy for me to figure out how to use Fundly and navigate all of the aspects of the website. I like how easy it was to find and connect with others. **What do you dislike about Fundly?** Fundly, compared with other big grassroots fundraising programs, is less well known. You would have to have a lot of connections to really raise money on the website, as you don't receive a lot of exposure. **Recommendations to others considering Fundly:** I think if you are an established person with lots of people supporting you, Fundly is a fine option. **What problems is Fundly solving and how is that benefiting you?** I needed Fundly to raise money for a summer project.

Easy to set up but comes with hefty fees **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2017 **What do you like best about Fundly?** Fundly allows people to raise funds with no requirements which provides a lot of flexibility to set up different types of campaigns. They also offer some support along the way by presenting some campaign ideas. And for those who are accustomed to mobile, the experience is all mobile optimized. **What do you dislike about Fundly?** The hefty 8% fees are tough to swallow, particularly when your funds are below $50,000 and every penny counts. They take fees for services and credit card processing. Also, if donors want to see the campaign they have to sign up for an account first in order to even know what the campaign entails which seems like a pain. **What problems is Fundly solving and how is that benefiting you?** Fundly was a solution to provide ways for people to learn, donate and share about various causes that our organization drives throughout the year. We find it easy to use, and the mobile app is seamless. ### 11.
